30 Configuring DHCP Servers
This section describes how to configure the DHCP server for use
with PXE.
Should problems occur when using PXE, the DHCP servers may
need to be checked for certain settings that may conflict with PXE.
However, on most networks, these issues should not occur.
The DHCP server is used by the PXE boot ROM to get an IP address
as well as other basic networking information (subnet mask, default
gateway, etc.).
Note: The network must be configured using DHCP to use the PXE
service.
Configuring the DHCP Server
Ensure the DHCP server has not been previously configured for
1
a PXE bootstrap.
If the DHCP options 43 & 60 are set, remove them.
2
Note: The Device Manager PXE service will detect the DHCP
packets sent by any PXE BootROMs and will offer PXE network
parameters without disturbing the standard DHCP negotiation
process. This is called DHCP Proxy.
The DHCP server should then be ready to be used with PXE.
If Management Server is installed with a DHCP server on the same
machine, it requires some manual configuration.
The Management Server installation process installs the HP PXE
Service. This service provides the PXE remote-imaging function.
The service is automatically started and stopped with the operating
system.
